The 2018 Craft Space Organization Challenge

Welcome to our annual Craft Space Organization Challenge . . .

No, this is not my studio . . . LOL

I know everyone is anxious to get their craft space in order, and as a result get more accomplished and get more enjoyment out of their crafting time. These challenges were originally set up for scrapbookers but they work quite well for just about any type of crafter which is a good thing for me. My studio is set up for my paper crafting, quilting, stamp collection, letterboxing, knitting and crochet, writing, my hubby's leatherworking, genealogy, and cross stitch and tapestry.

So, what I want you to do right NOW is take a photo of your scrap zone. No . . . leave the dirty coffee cup where it is. Yes, I know you let your cat sleep on your keyboard. Do not touch ANYTHING. Just take the brutally honest photo of your craft space and upload it to your blog or other online sharing site. Don't forget to post the link to your photo here in the comments section. There will be a random PRIZE draw from submitted entries via this blog and our Facebook group.

I will be posting my BEFORE photos tomorrow.

Come on!! You can do it!! No shame here . . . just hope. If I can get MY MESS fixed, ANYONE can. Just follow the ten challenges I'll be posting over the next 10 weeks.

Week #2 Challenge: Paper . . . and I mean ALL of your paper.

Annual Organization Challenge Week #2 How did you make out with last week's challenge? Did you find your work table? Here's this week's challenge: Your challenge this week is to S.P.A.C.E. your paper - - and I mean ALL of your paper: cardstock, patterned paper, specialty papers, and all those SCRAPS! SORT: Bring all of your paper to one area. Sort it all into piles: KEEP, SELL, DONATE, TRASH PURGE: bag up, and assign a price to paper bundles that you want to SELL at a garage sale or online, and put the bags in the garage sale box.
